There is a price to pay for being a true follower of Jesus Christ. Father Mark Beard explains that true faith takes courage, pointing to Longinus, the centurion who recognized Jesus and refused to deny it. He explains that Longinus was hunted for his belief and forced to flee. He explains that even when found, Longinus stood firm, showing the real cost of following Christ. Requiescat in pace, Fr. | Mustbecatholic
